The world's first full-frame compact digital camera

Never has so much imaging power come in such a small package. The Sony DSC-RX1 redefines what is possible from a compact digital camera. The full-frame — that's right, full-frame — sensor and fixed 35mm premium Carl Zeiss® lens let you capture shots detailed enough to make gorgeous blown-up prints. This small-profile camera is perfect for moments when you don't have time or patience for an SLR and multiple lenses, or just want to travel light. Yet your photos will be vibrant and free of noise, whether it's a finely detailed macro shot of an insect on a flower or a wide-angle group shot at a gathering of family and friends.

Brilliant low-light performance

The RX1's fixed f/2 lens is bright enough for shooting in almost any lighting. So even when the lights are dimmed or the sun is setting, rest assured you'll still capture vivid portraits and stunning landscapes. The full-frame Exmor® CMOS sensor offers incredible light-gathering ability for stellar performance in poorly lit settings, with selectable ISO from 100 to 25,600. The RX1's exposure controls also include a manual ring to adjust the aperture's nine-blade iris to create smooth background defocus for outstanding portraits and close-up shots.

Manual and auto focus options

If you're preparing to shoot your child's birthday party, you'll no doubt be prepared for the big shots before they happen. The RX1's manual focus ring lets you dial in your daughter as she prepares to blow out the candles, with customizable focus assist peaking to highlight focused edges as you frame the shot. But sometimes you don't have time for total artistic control. That's when the RX1's high-speed auto focus serves you best, so you'll be ready for quick shooting when your son suddenly takes those first steps. You can even combine auto and manual focus, using auto mode to focus in on the subject before switching to the manual control ring for creative fine-tuning. Continuous autofocus can track moving subjects, perfect for firing off a burst of five frames per second at this powerful camera's full resolution.

The compact DSC-RX1 (left) features a full-frame sensor, historically found only in larger SLRs.

Expand your possibilities

The RX1 allows you to keep it simple by combining point-and-shoot convenience with professional-grade photo quality. However, if you want to expand the RX1's capabilities, use the multi-interface hotshoe to add optional accessories such as an electronic or optical viewfinder, external flashes and thumb grips. The microphone jack gives you powerful audio-capture possibilities, perfect for use with an optional mic while recording 1080p video with the RX1.

sony rx1

Raw images fantastic, speed of auto focus average. fill flash excellent and powerful. overal this is the best point and shoot pocket sized camera anyone can find at this time. The images are better than some of the best SLR digital cameras unless you get into medium format digital cameras.

Pros:Image quality

Cons:the rear display showed too many none essential info and does not display the aperature and f stops. detailed owner instruction is not included. Raw file conversion software is not included but can be found by doing a little reading.

The Sony DSC-RX1

First off, let me state that I am a long-time Leica user & I have a M9-P. I'm replacing that with the new Leica M (body-only - $6,950). So why would I want the RX1? There are 2 main reasons: 1. The RX1's autofocus makes it much easier to take good photos quickly. 2. Convenience - Smaller size & lighter weight - When traveling, it is much easier to take the RX1 than the M9-P. It has an adequate built-in flash so no need to lug along an external one.

What about quality? There are two aspects: 1. The RX1 construction & design are superb. People have called in "Leica-like" & it is. 2. The RX1 & Leica M both have 24MP full frame CMOS sensors. The difference is in the lenses. The RX1 has a built-in Zeiss lens which does a very nice job. But it is a tad below the Leica lenses (legendary but frightfully expensive).

In the end, probably only a few professionals will be able to detect differences between the RX1 & the Leica M photos. Both are genuinely exceptional, & both allow you to export RAW images for professional editing.

The RX1 & the Leica M both take 1980 x 1080 HD movies. However, movies on the Leica (no autofocus) are likely to be of poor quality if the subjects are moving. The movies on the RX1 are very, very good.

In summary, the Sony RX1 is a superb professional camera that is both fun & easy to use. Amateur photographers such as myself also will be delighted with the RX1. It is worth every penny, & you simply cannot beat Crutchfield for their service and support.

Sony Rx1

Received the Sony RX1 about 2 weeks ago and have been very satisfied with the results. The image quality is as good if not better than anything I have owned. I have had 2 other full frame sensor cameras and the Sony RX1 is the one I would choose over the others. Yes, the dslr's certainly have their advantages but I wanted something portable and also a camera that is not so imposing. I am aware that with photographers in particular, that SIZE does matter. I have seen many photogs lusting over big lenses and chunky slr bodies. I can only say that the RX1 does exactly what it was intended to do. The leaf shutter is nearly silent and the Zeiss glass is as good as it gets. I have already made prints of 48x60 and the WOW factor is there for sure. The price for accessories and low light autofocus are the only reasons i can't give it 5 stars. But in all fairness, I knew this going into the system. Metering is spot on the jpeg images are awesome. Noise is not a factor and I haven't hesitated to shoot at 12800 iso. I would certainly recommend this camera to anyone who understands what they are buying. I have seen people list cons such as NO ZOOM, NO VIEWFINDER. These are not cons. It has a fixed lens and you certainly can add a viewfinder. But my guess is that someone willing to spend this much for a camera would already know this and not be surprised to find those features missing. Enough said. Try it, you'll like it. Remember, if you buy a Ford, don't complain that it's not a chevy

Pros:Image quality superb. Low low low noise. Quiet so very quiet. It wouldn't wake a sleeping baby if you put it to their ear. So small but yet so sturdy on the build quality. ZEISS ZEISS ZEISS!

Cons:Accessory prices. It does hunt in low light but I have found that if you set the focus to center focus it does much better.

Oustanding full fram compact camera

Sony did an amazing feat squeezing a full frame sensor into such a compact package. Plus Sony has mated an outstanding Zeiss prime lens with this sensor. The image quality is truly outstanding.

Sure it has it quirks, focusing is not as fast as DSLR's, but there are certain compromises you have to make to squeeze so much technology into this little body. But boy, the image quality is second to none.
